Live Auction - Dinner for 10 at Earnscliffe
The British High Commisioner has generously donated a dinner for 10 at Earnscliffe.
Earnscliffe is a Victorian manor in Ottawa, Ontario. It is home of the British High Commissioner to Canada, and it was home to Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. The manor overlooks the Ottawa River just east of the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge. It is located just to the northwest of Sussex Drive across from the Lester B. Pearson Building.
The house is a National Historic Site of Canada, and the location of a plaque erected by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, but since it is a diplomatic residence, it is closed to visitors.
Chef Danny Mongeon, Hooch Bourbon House
Born and raised in Ottawa, Chef Danny Mongeon began cooking at the age of thirteen for Neil Tully, executive chef of Friday's Roast Beef House. Neil took Danny under his wing and began to teach him the ways of the kitchen.
This experience proved to be very educational and rewarding. Danny felt his vocation was a career in cooking.
After working under some of Ottawa's greatest Chefs, Danny helped open Brutt Cantina Sociale in downtown Hull. The restaurant was an instant hit and helped Mongeon gain the confidence to open his own restaurant. Soon, Hooch was conceptualized. Mongeon's take on southern cuisine, seafood and raw plates has been stunning diners since the doors opened. His creative menu - that changes frequently - is paired with craft cocktails and small batch bouron whiskey."I really can relate to this important cause, said Chef Mongeon. There was a time in my youth when I witnessed the good things the Shepherds of Good Hope do. I'm proud to help them raise money to continue their work."
